I was in several of these churches on a trip to Russia. The first impression when you enter one is the amount of art work on the walls and ceiling. A lot of it is mosaic that looks like it is painted and the real ancient work is painted on. Colors are bright and there are decorative lamps. The Czars have large square type boxes or chests lined up in rows as burial sites. These are highly decorated and are metal. Orthodox churches have no pews and people stand during the services.
